Tub Eufuula Times is running on

Wknatok Beck, of Kentucky, who is
a member of the Senate Committee
on Civil Service Reform, told a re
porter the other day, that he was
convinced from an examination of
the department lists that New Eng
land has more representatives on
them t-hns all the rest of the Huffed
States together, and said that, he in
tends to make u vigorous effort for
a redistribution of the offices when
lie gets back to Congress.

"The whole country will ap
plaud and pat Ben on the back. If
anyone had indulged in the idoa that
thiSmins of the native Southerners

that only originated in the brains of

A Goon Suggestion.— According to a
table recently oompiled, the aggre
gate debts of the cities of the United
States amount to the enormous sum
of nine hundred millions of dollars,
aud their rates of munioipal taxation
range from $1.35 to $4.44 on the SIOO
valuation. The Southern cities of
Memphis, Nashville, Mobile, New
Orleans and Savannah arc in default
as to the payment of interest on their
bonded indebtedness. Noticing these
facts, the Augußta Chronicle proposes:
When the Constitutional Convention
assembles a special committee on
municipal and county corporations
should be appointed to suggest legis
lation that will protoct the towns aud
counties of Georgia from the incotn
petency, extravagance or corruption
of local governments. Unless some
thing is done in alt the States that
ugly word Repudiation will be heard
in the land.

The Opponents r i lie southern Holley.
The New York Motion divides the
opponents of the policy of tho Presi
dent toward the Mouth into throe
oiasscs. First, tho hot partisans,
who care little or nothing about the
colored poptilfulon as such, but who
look on the colored voter as a trophy
of the late war, and like to see him
vote at every election—not for his
own sake, but us a sign that the
Southerners got the worst of it, and
who are ail the moro eager to havo
him exercise his political rights be
cause the white men do not liko it.
Tho second class is composed of the
"honest stealots who labored for the
emancipation or the slaves so long,
and had so terrible a struggle in per
suading people that a black man had
the' equalities and rights of a human
being, and became so familiar with
tho horrors of slavery that the negro
has undergone a sort of transfigura
tion in their minds, and appears to
them as almost certainly right in any
conflict with his old masters.” The
third class embraces the great band
of political knaves and adventurers,
without Used couviction on any sub
ject, but ardent advocates of any
measure or idea which seems likely
to be popular, whoso rise into promi
nence or importance within the last
seventeen years has been so greatly
due to civil troubles and abnormal
conditions of government, that a re
turn to <|rdpr and legality seems to
them to promise degradation or ex
tinction, t; . ■■ ■

K\rortrd by Whales.
The San Franeisce Chronicle, of
the 10th inst., says: "Capt, Reis, of
the ship Fleur de Lis, which arrived
vdsterday from Ardrossan, reports a
‘"experience on the
voyage. When off Staten Island,
which lies eastward from Capa Horn,
the ship encountered a school of
whales, which seents to have resolv
ed' itself into an escort to attend her
on the remainder of her passage.
The whales kept in close company
with the ship through this long
stretch of thousands of miles and
did not leave her until she arrived
off this port and put in for the shore,
when they took their leave with u
series of Hwly ftotfhders and an oc
casional spout to assure the master
that tffey were taking In bumpers to
his health.. As the passage arouud I
Gape Horn and through the Pacific
was a good one, it is fair to presume
that the escort was auspicious.”
UII.I, P4KTIKW BRKAK UP?
We aro beginning to see reports of
movements towards the re-organiza
tion of the old Whig party, under
the auaploes of tho Hayes adminis
tration. While we are well convinced
that these roports aro rather eviden
ces of a deni re by some politicians to
re-build that party than of actual
movements, by the people In that
direction, we are also convinced
that the politicians Interested wilt
exert themselves Energetically to
effect what they have undertaken,
in proof of thts wo may mention that
two of our exchanges are outspoken
and zealous in advocacy of tho new
party. Theso are The Nation, a Re
publican paper at Washington, D.
C„ und the Headlight, a
Democratic paper at Dadeville,
Ala. Several other Republican
papers are artfully trying to allure
Southern Democrats into the pro
posed new organization, without
promising to tuke stock in it them
selves or to break from their present
purty associations. But the most
signiilcantand noticeable demonstra
tion of this kind is that of Hon. R.
W. Thompson, Secretary of the Navy,
as reported in an interview with him
which we copy elsewhere. Occupy
ing his relations with the Adminis
tration, and declaring us he does
emphatically that “when the coun
try beoomes diseased, it can only be
cured by Whig remedies,” tho de
clarations attributed to him must be
regarded as ua earnest avowal of a
desire to make a "new departure,”
leaving behind tho exciting but tem
porary issues springing out of the
war, and falling back upon the broad
national principles which distin
guished the old Whig party.
It seems to us that Secretary
Thompson and his supporters in this
proposed movement are now playing
the part of Mahomed when he called
upon the mountain to come to him.
The Democratic party of the South
already stand upon the platform of
Whig principles which he defines,
unless he means to push tho doc
trine of Internal improvements by
the Federal Government beyond the
limitations recognized by Clay, Fill
more and other Whig leaders. We
never cared anything for party
name s, aud we believe that the intel
ligent people of the South generally
care but little for them. We have
been all the time conscious
that while the party with which
we wero acting was called "Demo
cratic,” it supported not a single
principle or measure antagonistic to
tho creed of the old Whig party.
Even if there had been no change of
views, late events and the necessi
ties of the country dictated this as
the most conservative position that
could be taken. Instead of one reg
ulating National Bank, which the old
Whigs advocated, we have now a
National Bank system 60 huge and
exclusive as to crowd out all State
banking corporations. If Secretary
Thompson speaks for the Adminis
tration in proposing the substitution
of tho old Whig plan of a balancing
National Bunk or paper circulation,
witii free or State banking institu
tions us of old, we think that both
Whigs and Democrats of the South
will unite with him upan that propo
sition. A high tariff seems to be ren
dorod necessary by tho financial
needs of the Government, and no
reasonable objection can bo made
now to the old Whig plan of diecrim
inating iu favor of protection (not
protecting to tho extent of prohibi
tion, as is now the caso with many
commodities.) As to internal im
provements by the General Govern
ment, the North ought certainly to
be satisfied with tho share which it
has obtained, aud ought cheerfully
to concede to tho South any compen
sating aid for works of truly national
importance which it may ask. But
such works ought not to include any
corrupt log-rolling, or individual
jobs, or be so defloeted or located as
to confer the main benefits on one
section while professing to bo in the
interest of another. If Mr. Hayes’
administration will, in theso matters,
abandon tho late Republican ampli
fications and return to tho constitu
tional limitations of the old Whig
party, it will be certain to receive
much aid from the South In tho ac
complishment of these reforms.
But tho new Administration has
not yet undone some things which
must be abandoned before it can
plant itself ou tho old Whig plat
form. It has done some “works
meet for repeutance,” but tho meas
ure of its repentance is not yot full.
It soems to have abandoned the idea
of direct military interference with
the local governments of the
South, which is very good as far as it
goes. Hut the Enforcement act still
stands on the statute book, and while
it stands tho Southern States and
people are denied an equal status
in the Union. Thore is no old Whig
doctrine or practice in that. Then
there is the internal revenue abomi
nation, with its hosts of officials to
harass the people and eat out their
substance. The old Whig aud con
stitutional doctrine is that direct
taxes shall be “ apportioned among
the States” aoeording to their popu
lation—not collected frftm the people
of tho States by the Federal Govern
ment. As long as tho Administra
tion plants itself upon these usurpa
tions aud heresies, which the old
Whig party never tolerated, it will
find itself in the predicament of the
Prophet calling the mountain. But
let it go to the mountain, with what
ever of its forces it can muster,
whether few or many, and the people
of the South will not be deterred by
more names Horn taking position
with it upon the |>latform of the con
stitution, honest government, and
the equality of the States and people.
In another article on this subject,
wo shall endeavor to point out how
the administration of Mr. Hayes can
accord a great measure of simple
Justice to the South, in a pecuniary
point of view, without projecting
works of internal improvement with
the object of giving the Southern
people employment,
FAKMKBN MUVTNU IN MARION
COUNTY.
Editor Columbus Times;— At our
Superior Court last week, we had the
Constitutional Convention discussed
fully and freely. In favor, Col.
Ingram, Peabody and Judge Pou; iu
opposition, Col. E. M. Butt and
others. Every argument was used
by tbo udvocates of the Convention
that could be on that side, and also
by Col. Butt In opposition.
The farmers had not thought much
about the Convention until the bar of
of Muscogee came down and address
ed the yeomanry of this county. There
seems to be difference of opinion
with most every man you meet,
what ought to be done and how it
should be done; and I fear unless we
have some understanding and con
cert of action in this district, the
Convention will be defeated; but if
we can have concert of action and a
thorough understanding we can suc
ceed, without it we must and will
fail.
A large majority of the voters of
Marion are opposed to all lawyers
being sent to the Convention. They
fear that all the old papers have
been bought by them, and that they
will re-open the old wounds and
leave us as much distress as our late
war; in fact, drive out all the widows
and orphans of Confederate soldiers
upon the cold charity of the country,
and all those who havo taken shelter
under the Constitution of the State.
If their iutention is to do these things,
they had better hang their harps
upon the willows and retire from the
convass, for I do assure you that they
will bo defeated. If they desire to
bring trouble on the people, drive
out from their houses twenty thous
and Confederate widows and eighty
thousand orphan children ; it will bo
defeated from the mountains to tho
soaboard.
Marion is ready to co-operate
With Muscogee and Chattahooche in
sending good and truo men to the
Convention. We heartily endorse
the suggestion made by you, or your
correspondent, of the names of Col.
Ingram, John Peabody and Col.
Burts. The people of Chattahoo
chee and Marion know them well
and will give them a hearty
support. As the farmers seem
determined to have in the
Convention furmers to guard their
rights, we suggest the name of CoT
James D. Wilson, of Marion, as a
proper man to represent Marion in
the Convention. He is a Democrat
of the old Jackson-Polk school, as
pure as gold and true as steel to our
interests, with education, good moral
character, without spot or blemish,
and is the man for Marion. You all
know him well. Speak out from
Muscogee, and let tho wool hat boys
of Marion and Cnattahoochoe know
if the ticket suggested by Marion
suits Muscogee. If the Convention
can’t be carried by such men as Ing
ram, Peabody, Hurts, Wilson and
Wooldridge, it can’t be carried by
anybody, and the act calling the
Convention will be a failure.
The farmers will get through
planting cotton this week, and com
mence plowing corn. We have had
a great deal of rain and very hard
ones, which put the farms behind.
All small grain crops good.
I will keep you posted every week
in reference to the crops and the
Convention. Mabion.

Dear Btn; The freight train on its

my old duu-kullerd cow "Stiffles.”
She were one uv the best milkers you
over seed, and her antyseedents are
affexionately inscribed on the mem
ory ov my grand-mother, who in a fit
ov extreme kindness tore from her
pen this kino specimen of the bovine
and give her to Sarah Jane (my wife)
as a token of her affoxiou. She brought
her from Jasper county, Ga., in 1843,
the fond mother of a pet gentleman
Kaf. That Kaf! oh! scizzurs and
buck wheat kakes! it brings teers to
mine ize tu gently reflect in his early
utb. He cud completely overarch a
supervening obstlcie fourteen rails
high when he wanted to whlspur
unto a lady cow his fust tails of luv.
He were a little like the aged and
Infnrm uncle Edurd, who had no
teeth to "bulldoze” the solidity ov
ingun maize (differin in this partick
uier) he hudn’t the sign of a horn with
which to push himself into a com
mandin’ posisli in society, nor but
one “I” to. wink at the uther gentle
man bovines when he wur
“lickin up” to a well-fed lady

parted in the middle, like sum ov
them nice fellers what stands behind
a town kounter to poke fun at a
euntry gall when she don’t happin
tu know butumer-s-een from striped
stockeus. I hev known him to ride
a sirket like a Methidist Preeeher
and keepas fat and sleekasa "Warm
Springs camp meetin,” when every
old sister brought down her best fix
ins fur a Sunday dinner. He was
very affeeksbunate (like his dear old
mother) and never kum tu “Salt

borhood. He eould paw up a ten
aker field, and butt a hole through a
black gum tree when his dander was
up, and there was another “Rich

what yer call ’em.) Well, ono day
the horn blue fur dinner, and I cum

“Spinks,” (that’s what wo called
him) was ded, and all the little chlid

took to tackle Colonel Charley
Urnscb’s train, and caught a tarter.
His hide would havo made warp for
a silk factory. I telegraphed Major-
General Frazer, Secretary and Treas

man, with a souless oorpera

"him up” by tho time tho next pay

would iuspect him and perhaps

and ]>ayments were made to James
M. Sweeney of 10 per cent, traced to
his accouut at the Nassau Bank, and
suppossed to have been the share of

Special to the Cincinnati Enquirer.l
Washington, April 24.—President
Grant reached here last night and
registered at Willard’s Hotel as a
great American citizen from Harris
burg, Pennsylvania. To-day a large
uumber of his friends called upon
him, including the ox-members of
his Cabiuet, He will remain here a
week or so. His friends say that
financially he is depressed, and that
about the only tbiug be saved from
the wreck of his profligate Adminis
tration is what little he put ia his
stocking us the savings from his
$50,000 salary. It is known that
ho lost heavily witii Tom Murphy ou
what is known as the Boulevard
property, near the Central Park in
New York, and that to save the fore
closure of certain mortgages he dis
counted to a broker his last year’s
salary. This speaks well for his per
sonal honesty, in as much as he wa9
beset by as hungry a horde of public
plunderers as ever disgraced auy
President’s Administration, He will
call on all his old friends this week,
nnd will sail for Europe early in
May.
“Tlte Dark Rolling Danube. •■
The river Danube has glgured
largely in history for two thousand
years, and it again becomes the ob
ject to which the eyes of the world
are turned. It furnished a highway
for the Turks iu the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries to penetrate
Europe as far as Vienna, and in the
days of the Crusades it became an
outlet for the religious enthusiasm of
Europe to flow to the Holy Land.
The Danube, from its sources in Ba
den to the Black Sea, is 1,820 miles
long, and drains, with its tributa
ries, an area of over 300,000 square
miles. It passes through Bavaria.
Austria, Hungary, forms the bound
ary between Hungary and Servia to
the Carpathian Mountains, where it
separates Roumania and Bulgaria,
and passes into the Black Sea by its
several moutbs, the principal one
being that of Sulina. The Danube is
navigable Tor steamers as far as Ulm,
in Bavaria. At Nicopolis, in the four
teenth century, 100.000 Christians
were driven by the Turks into the
Danube, and in the fifteenth century
40,000 Turks were slain on its shores
at the siege of Belgrade.
The Alpine Horn.
The Alpine horn is an instrument made
of the bark of a sherry tree, and like a
speaking trumpet, is used to convey
sounds to a great distance. When the
last rays of the sun gild the summit of
the Alps, the shepherd who inhabits the
highest peak of these mountains, takes
his horn, and cries, with a loud voice,
"Praised be the Lord.” As soon as the
neighboring shepherds hear him they leave
their huts aud repeat these words. The
sounds are prolonged many minutes,
while the echoes of the rocks repeat the
name of God. Imagination cannot picture
anything more solemn or sublime than
such a scene. During the silence that
succeeds, the shepherds bend their knee
and pray in the open air, then repair to
their huis to test. Tee sunlight gilding
the top of these stupendous mountains,
upon which the vault of heaven seems to
rest, tlie magnificent scenery around, and
the voices shepherds sounding from rock
to rock the praises of the Almighty, fill
the mind of every traveler with enthusi
iism and awe,
